This always A list singer is fighting for his life and is losing the battle. No matter what treatments he tries and no matter what he does to try and improve, things don't. Everyone is shocked that he has a chance to make it through 2012.

Whenever a huge artist dies they're album sales explode, people come out of the woodwork to talk for money, everyone is suddenly the best friend, it's such a vicious cycle. I have a feeling all of this will happen to him if he really is that ill :(

But I am confused. He looked fairly okay when he performed at the Olympics. I know it was only one performance, and they could have somehow gotten him through it, but if he's positive and very sick, that would seem unlikely.

Maybe he just can't get his drug use under control, which is also tremendously sad. I wish he could love himself a little.

I too LOVE LOVE LOVE George Michael! He has been open about his love for weed and strange, but I haven't ever heard he was in to anything stronger. Fighting for his life though? Sounds like hard drugs. He's never gotten skinny though. He had pneumonia pretty badly as you all mentioned. I'm stumped on this one.

No, I loved loved loved Eli Stone. Another causality of the Writers Strike. It was just gaining momentum when the strike happened.

I remember years ago, Boy George was ranting the Gm should come out and admit his HIV status, that it would help so many in the gay community.

His first real boyfriend died of AIDS and was diagnosed not long after they started dating.

If he is + as a huge fan (say him in concert in 2008) it would certainly not change my opinion of him, if anything it may help him, I can only image how I would need to self medicate if I had a chronic illness.

Sadly we knew this one...he refused to get tested even thought he was having unprotected sex...He waited to long to get treatment. I know men who have been HIV positive for over 20 years....the new drugs work.

He is so talented. I'm old so I remember Young Guns and Club Tropicana. My husband and I always joke about how we didn't know George Michael was gay back in the 80. All the girls swooned to Careless Whisper (I still do!)

I love GM, very first concert I ever saw! (1987, Faith tour, Shoreline Ampitheater, most of you probably weren't even born yet!). Yes he's appeared very ill now and again in the last few years, but I'd LIKE to attribute it to him not being able to kick the pills, not him dying of AIDS. He seems fine now. Stay sober and healthy in 2013, George!

Cheryl, you aren't that old, because I remember those tunes as well, and I'M not that old :-)! And so true - us average Middle America Americans didn't even know what gaydar was back then. I had no clue about people I knew personally as well, and thought we were close friends, at that. It all makes me so sad, as several of my friends would have fared so much better in today's more open, accepting environment.

I just watched Kissing a Fool on youtube, then went right into Wham! I'm Your Man - oh my gosh, I feel 15 again! Slightly OT - I miss real, honest to God, 80's hair on men. George had a fuckin' spectacular head of bouncing, vibrant hair back then. Goodness, takes me back - these hipster doofusus we've got running around right now with their 80's glasses don't know what they're doing!!!!

I'm glad to see us 80's people out and about. You guys are right though about 80's hair. It was spectacular. I started high school in 1980 and graduated from college in '88 so it is truly my era. My daughter looks cute in her sweater dresses but I rocked it better back in the day at the Limelight in NY.

sheeeite, I graduated in highschool in '87 (lol, our prom theme was "forever young") and what passes for 80's hair and fashion is sooooo not. le sigh. We had hair out to the ends of our hyuuuge shoulder pads. There wasn't enough Aqua Net and to keep it up - you need hair gel too! And the kinking hair irons, don't forget those. And then accessorize with streaks of color and loooooooong earrings that weighed about 3 pounds each.

This is so sad. I hope he pulls through. I thought it was him when the blind was posted...

I can still see myself jumping around to "Wake me up before you go go" I couldn't dance to save my life, but I would try and do that 80's bounce, arms in swinging in the air with that little side step hop. The Molly Ringwald or The Bedrock, I don't know similar I think.

The lyrics to Careless are so haunting but also magical, one of my favorites.

This is so wrong! If he is positive, he needs to come out and say so! He could cast such a positive (no pun intended) light on getting tested and being treated! My baby brother didn't get tested even though a former long time partner had been sick and his life partner was positive (and asymptomatic). My brother came down with PML and trust me, it is a horrible way to go! I watched my darling brother who was brilliant and funny and simply gorgeous wither away, lose his speech and be reduced to diapers and tube feeding! If he has even just one person in his life that loves him, he needs to be open about the situation and get treatment! Because once someone loves you, you've an obligation not to bring such devastating pain to them! It's been six years and my poor mother still isn't even close to recovering from the loss of my brother! (jumping off my soapbox now.....thanks for letting me rant....just a sore spot with me....and very long story....)

Yes they are! Thanks DBZee. I worked for a while with the AIDS/HIV positive folks in the community where my brother had lived and it's so sad. One guy told me that no one had touched him, even just to hug him in over a year! Heartbreaking! But what is worse is that Sean's former life partner who is positive but asymptomatic, doesn't tell any of his partners now that he is positive! That makes me insane because that's tantamount to murder in my eyes!

Actually, it is a crime in many states. Criminal Transmission of HIV. I seem to remember an article about a guy in CA who was deliberately infecting partners and he was charged with attempted murder. Could be wrong about the details, though. I agree, that's a terrible thing to do to someone; even if you're having protected sex, there's no guarantee that it will prevent spreading it to the partner.

So sad about the guy who wouldn't be touched. I was in high school when the Ryan White movie came out and it was heartbreaking. I realize back then most people didn't understand how it was transmitted, but the way they treated that poor boy was atrocious. Angels in America was another one that opened a lot of eyes.

I sincerely hope GM isn't pos, but given his sexual history (trysts in public loos) and drug abuse, it's entirely possible. Get well, George!

Dammit! I logged in! Why ya gotta call me "unknown"? In addition to Frufra's comment about real 80's hair, I loved Eli Stone and have adored GM since I saw Wham do "Wham Rap" on American Bandstand. What was that - '81? - Kelley (in case it Unknowns me again)
